Anyone seen Dinsdale?

Post by Spiny Norman »

G'day peeps. I heard this was where all the cool kids were hanging out now, anyone got a light?
Same username as on t'other place, been on there for about 10 years on and off with flurries of activity followed by years of silence, usually when I lost my key and couldn't get back in.

Not much of a fixer, I feel a sense of achievement if the car starts again after I've changed a headlamp bulb but I enjoy driving ropey old tat. The current ride is a Puggy 405 bought from Davehedgehog, is he on here yet?

You seem to have the same level of mechanical skill as me.
A bit* different from people who use a fire extinguisher to power their welder when they run out of gas.

Nah, I've no beef with anyone over there but I guess I'm in general agreement with the idea that it's changed recently, and not for the better.
I' might not be a household name on the Beige, how the fuck I've managed to rack up 4000-odd posts on there is a mystery to me but I still lurk there and post occasionally, which is probably what I'll do here.

I've not seen Dave H on either side for a while. He had some nice 405s though.
